Sweet Potatoes Soup / Dessert

 My purple sweet potatoes have sprouted after a week or so after I bought them from the market.  Are the sprouted sweet potatoes poisonous?  We have tried, they are not poisonous.   

Nice and healthy shoots.  I believe it will grow into healthy plants if I were to plant them.

But I bought these load of sweet potatoes for dessert. Thus, the shoots are removed and sweet potatoes as sliced into small chunks and into the pot. 

Here is my purple sweet potatoes dessert / soup after boiling for about an hour, add brown sugar to taste.  It has cooling effect (relieve body heatiness according to Chinese). It is our favourite weekend dessert.

Pork with old melon soup & red dates

Jean gave me an idea to cook this delicious soup.  It's pork with old melon and red dates soup.  I peeled off the old melon skin which is orangy in colour; they look very much like winter melon after being cooked. A great soup to ease off heatiness in our bodies. 

Pork with fungus and lotus root soup

I like having hot soup with my meals. It makes a meal complete and nourishing. I cook simple and easy soup most of the time so that we could have our meals on the table in less than 30 minutes. I got ideas from my mum and sister on how to cook nice soup when I got out of ideas. This pork with white fungus and lotus root soup is one of them. It takes quite a while to boil till the lotus roots become tender. It's a very nourishing and healthy soup idea for the whole family. Give it a try!

HOME COOKED FISH BALL, WANTON AND SPINACH SOUP

Mum gave me some fish balls, wantons and a simple instruction for me to cook a soup for my dinner yesterday (Mum knows very well that this daughter of hers is not good at cooking and that her grand daughters are not getting good meals most of the time.... :( ..ps.. Mum, don't worry, I am trying my best. :>). Within 15 minutes, the soup is done, it turned out to be delicious and nutritious too. Crystal ended up ate two bowls of rice with the soup of course. I thought it would be nice for me to share my home cooked soup with my fellow friends here.
